Bad News: Deal or No Deal is adding a new gimmick.
Good News: It's actually good, at least I think!
Starting on December 12th, NBC's Deal or No Deal is adding "The Deal Wheel".
This works exponentially better than Double or Nothing, as this gives you a chance to double, triple, or halve your money. It's a bit sketchy right now, but it seems that you have the option to play "The Deal Wheel" after you take a deal or get the value in your case. You drop a ball down a huge ramp, looking much like a Plinko board, before it hits the wheel. In there is essentially a roulette wheel. The spaces alternate "1/2" or "x2". Five of the "x2" spaces are "x3", meaning your money is tripled. You only risk half of your money to potentially triple it, or at least double it in a 50/50 chance. Seems like a pretty cool gimmick which can definitely work and is worth a risk, unlike Double or Nothing. What do you all think? I haven't watched Deal or No Deal in ages, but I think it might be worth it for this."

"On December 10th, Deal or No Deal adds something never done before in the briefcase game: competition. December 10th is "Winner Takes All". During the two hour show, three contestants will play their own individual game. Whoever gets the most money in their game takes home everyone's money. Meaning if Player One gets $200,000; Player Two gets $250,000; and Player Three gets $300,000; Player Three goes home with $750,000. Interesting way to up the money without going insane, plus this may make for some really interesting and hopefully cautious game play.
December 11th isn't a huge gimmick. They are bringing in a small orchestra and members of the Broadway show "Wicked" to perform for the contestant. It's also a special "case reveal" episode, where home viewers will get to see what's inside some case values before the player does. It really doesn't add anything special to the show, but it's not a bad gimmick."
